Uchiha, this is too much!
Yes.
There are almost no fools among those who can become Higher-Ups.
No matter how well the Uchiha's notice was written, with all sorts of talk about benefiting the villagers, in essence, it was all utter nonsense.
The Uchiha's goal was clear: to directly target the Konoha Higher-Ups!
Can the village's finances be made public?
Absolutely not!
If they were made public, how would the Konoha Higher-Ups benefit their own families?
Without these village finances, how could their Ninja Clans have grown so large?
As for splitting up Ninja Clan industries, that's even more unthinkable!
This is the foundation of every Ninja Clan; if they didn't have industries, how could they train their family ninjas?
How could their families continue to exist?
The Uchiha's actions this time were even more detestable than digging up ancestral graves.
This, absolutely cannot be tolerated!
"Uchiha Jin!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly, "Interesting."
"Originally, I intended to give you some benefits first, stabilize you, then fully support the war against the enemy village, and settle accounts with you after the war ended."
"But, I never imagined..."
"You Uchiha are so insatiable. We just resolved your finances, and now you're already making another move against me!"
"Damn it, you won't even stop for a single day!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was really about to spit blood.
Ever since he was persuaded by Nara Shikaku, he had been prepared to take a step back and let the world open up.
The struggle with the Uchiha must be led by him.
He would make the move, and the Uchiha would respond.
Only within the rules he set could he maintain greater control.
Conceding once wouldn't affect the overall situation.
But, he never imagined...
Uchiha Jin, that old sly fox, didn't give him any time to prepare.
The previous move had just been dealt with.
He wouldn't give him time, wouldn't let him react, and immediately launched the next move.
Making him constantly on the defensive, with no time to think about anything else.
What kind of defense is best? Always be on the offensive.
Such a sinister and vicious tactic, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit broken by it now.
Too much of a bastard!
Sarutobi Hiruzen truly couldn't understand how Uchiha Jin, this kid, had learned these tactics.
Too damn insidious.
Is this really an Uchiha? Even Nara wouldn't be much better, would he?
But, he also knew.
Even if he was fuming now, this matter had to be resolved.
It couldn't be allowed to fester any longer, otherwise, once it truly gained momentum, no matter how powerful Sarutobi Hiruzen was, he wouldn't be able to stand against the overwhelming public opinion.
What to do?
His brain was working furiously, but this matter had come too suddenly.
For a while, he truly had no solution.
"Hiruzen, stop sighing." Torifu Koharu said anxiously, "These Uchiha are getting more and more out of hand."
"We can't hesitate any longer. Even if it affects our reputation, we must eliminate them."
"The longer the Uchiha exist, the longer we are in danger."
"This time, the Uchiha have completely offended all Ninja Clans."
"Let's invite all the Ninja Clans, and stop with the unnecessary talk. Let's directly invade the Uchiha Clan Grounds."
"Kill all these bastards, and then we can slowly consider other things."
"The public is forgetful."
"As long as we can completely destroy the Uchiha this time, we'll have plenty of time to slowly restore the people's livelihoods."
"We can't hesitate any longer. Even if we lose our reputation, we must do it."
Torifu Koharu was truly scared.
Yes.
Don't let her current frenzy fool you; in reality, she was just hiding her panic.
Uchiha Jin was too powerful.
His methods simply left her in awe.
One second, Sarutobi Hiruzen tested him with the 'theft incident'; the next second, he made the Uchiha slack off, completely ruining Konoha's public order, thereby bringing up the issue of the village owing the Police Force funds.
He was cautious in his actions, clear-headed, and ruthless in his methods.
More importantly, one plan led to another.
It was also fortunate that the village had spies within the Police Force, so they knew of Uchiha Jin's plan in advance.
Otherwise...
If they hadn't taken this matter seriously at first, and Uchiha Jin had truly swayed public opinion and caused a commotion in front of the Hokage Building, the Hokage's prestige would surely have suffered a major blow.
And this time?
One second, they had just decided to back down, resolving the matter.
But then what?
Not even a day had passed, and Uchiha Jin had come up with another move.
Amending the law!
The tactic was no different from the last time; he still used the method of swaying public opinion to threaten the Konoha Higher-Ups.
This time, it was even more ruthless.
If they didn't handle this well, their family foundations would be completely ruined.
This was only the second time!
Torifu Koharu couldn't help but start to think, even if they could find a solution this time, and disrupt Uchiha Jin's plan.
What then?
He would just turn around and set another trap for them.
At that point, they would still be helpless!
This Uchiha Jin was different from the Uchiha they had encountered in the past.
This guy was not only strong, but he was also resourceful, cunning, and every move hit them where it hurt.
More importantly, his strategic vision was strong enough!
He could clearly perceive the true relationship between the village and the Uchiha.
He knew that the village would definitely destroy the Uchiha.
Therefore!
He never considered reconciling with the village; his sole focus was to fight the village.
This, there was truly no solution.
Being targeted by such a cunning, unscrupulous, strategically brilliant, and clear-headed Uchiha, Torifu Koharu's heart was truly afraid, it was not a pretense.
Considering this, she truly didn't want to play anymore.
What game rules? She couldn't care less.
Even if her reputation was ruined, even if she had to sacrifice everything, she would completely destroy the Uchiha.
Even if she couldn't destroy the Uchiha, she would at least kill Uchiha Jin.
